About 0CCM7ZZ

0CCM7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the pharynx using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of intraluminal foreign body from pharynx without incision, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (98.13).

For a different body part, codes include 0CCR7ZZ (epiglottis), 0CCS7ZZ (larynx), 0CCT7ZZ (right vocal cord) and 0CCV7ZZ (left vocal cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CCM0ZZ (open), 0CCM3ZZ (percutaneous), 0CCM4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0CCM8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
